Hey that's a great fossil wrap, I think they call it Turtela, or something like that. And nice looking Rabbit too! That is a wild looking agate cab!..............................Hub

I think it's spelled turitella. (I kept confusing it with the tarantela the first time I heard it!) I love fossils, so was psyched that she chose that stone to wrap for me. Hope the agate goes over as well!
(And I'm sure Daisy would say thank you!)

Hey Everyone, I received my box yesterday. What a beautiful piece I received. Thank you. The wire went so well with the stone chosen. It's amazing. I haven't decided which cab I will wrap, they're so many to choose from, it's a hard decision. Here are the pictures. Hope this works, this picture loading is different. [img src=" i1329.photobucket.com/albums/w556/Nyllynn/RTH/RoamingWire7833_zps0246e2f6.jpg"][/IMG] Thanks again, it's beautiful... Deb

Hey Deb, you have to upload your pictures to somewhere like photobucket.com or flickr.com then you can right click on the images click "Open image in new tab" then copy the address at the top of the new tab and sandwich it between [ img ] and [ /img ] (no spaces) You can do this with as many pictures as you like Krista

If you look above, I did what you said and uploaded to photobucket.com. I still don't know what I'm doing wrong...

Okay, so in photobucket above your photo there is a little icon that looks like two links, it's kind of greyish but it's there. Click on it and then copy the link under "direct" and then sandwich it betwee [ img] and [ /img] (no spaces). It worked from my photobucket, otherwise, if that does work, email the pics to me and I'll put them up!!! Krista.DeSelms@gmail.com Krista

Wow--nice wrap, very unusual. And how does one pick one of those cabs?

I'm glad you liked it. It was such an unusual stone and shape I had to play with it General question for you guys-where do you find your cabs most often? My two favorite gem shows around here seem to have gotten mugged by beads this weekend, Only two cab dealers at one show and the other had none! (Though it had some geode slices, so not a total loss.)

Sandra, A LOT of my gemstones come from here! There's a buy sell and swap board if you go up and hit the home button, go to the buy sell and swap board, it's under the members section, you can start a new thread on that board and basically ask for anything, usually someone will have it, and once you know a couple lapidary friends and like their personal cutting style you'll go back again and again and again You'll pay retail price for the stones, but that's because they don't come from china! And usually anything I get from the people here is a hundred times better than what you can find on say ebay. It's usually Etsy quality cabs, where people actually make you pay more than $.99 because they made it and need to make a profit! Boy I'm just on this whole pricing thing, guess I can't let it go! I've actually got an order in right now with Roy for some gorgeous sage amethyst cabs I'm so exctied! Krista

Thanks. I'll go take a look. I had a few usual artists I'd pick up pieces from at the shows that I'd visit pretty much year to year, but they seem to be MIA! I'm going to try to drive to a further out show tomorrow...
